The fight for abortion with lives on the line
The Catholic Church is fanatically ‘pro-life’. Nonetheless, it sends an unknown number of pregnant Nicaraguan women straight to their deaths. It has always been illegal to have an abortion in Central America’s poorest country, but ahead of the Nicaraguan presidential elections in 2006, the former socialist revolutionary leader Daniel Ortega entered an unholy alliance with the the church in his battle to obtain more votes among the strongly faithful electorate and promised to even criminalise therapeutic abortion, which can only be conducted if a birth is threatening the mother’s life. Ortega became president, and Nicaragua’s parliament pushed through a horrifying change in the law, which means that carrying out any kind of abortion can be punished with up to 8 years in prison - both for the pregnant woman and the doctor involved. But at the same time, pregnancy itself can be a death sentence. CPH:DOX is hosting the world premiere of Danish filmmaker Andreas Johnsen’s powerful and violently intense ‘Murder’, which follows the people who are defying the law to save lives - and thereby put their own lives at risk.
